When it takes the floor, the Adams five will have Hubert Hauck and Donald Gordon at the forward spots. Bill Calfee at the pivot post, and Max Manker and Roger Pierce in the backcourt. Big guns of the Hybrid attack are Bill Moody, Al Wilson, Varsity halfback, and Captain Jim Gillies...
...plant hormone which he calls colchicine. It increases the growth rate of tobacco, phlox, onions, pumpkins, cosmos, radishes, portulaca, digitalis, jimson weed. The growth acceleration seems to be related to a doubling of certain segments of the chromosomes, heredity carriers in the germplasm. Colchicine also renders hybrid plants-which are normally sterile-fertile. Dr. Blakeslee pointed out that this action is as important in plant science as it would be in zoology to confer the power of reproduction on a mule...
Poets want to take truth by the hand; prophets want to get truth by the tail. A hybrid of poet and prophet is tomahawk-faced Robinson Jeffers, almost as much famed in the U. S. for doing his writing in a stone tower, built by himself, over-looking California's Carmel Bay, as for his violent free-verse narratives and black-diamond lyrics in Tamar, Roan Stallion, The Women at Point Sur, Cawdor, et al.

Editor Robert C. Cook of the Association's Journal of Heredity published the pictures and report which Mr. Sternberger mailed. Commented Editor Cook last week: "There is no scientific justification whatever for Mr. Sternberger's expressed belief that the creature is a catdog hybrid, or that its appearance is due to the exploded theory of 'maternal impressions.' We are dealing almost certainly with a genetic variation in this case, inherited as a recessive character, which characters ordinarily appear in the progeny of normal parents. (Feeblemindedness in humans behaves in the same way, as do a multitude...
